1/16 Scale Fuel Cells For Model Airways Albatros D.Va
« on: June 10, 2025, 03:55:56 AM »


Coming soon : replacement 3D printed fuel cell in 1/16 scale, tailored to the Model Airways offering. Replaces the very inaccurate white metal and styrene offering from the kit. All new design in 9 parts; not simply a scaled up version of my 1/32 scale tank for the WNW kits. Assembles as shown in the gif below.

First test print. Reserve tank good; main tank needs some tweaks.

Great. How can I order one? And how about other parts? (Besides the engine)

When it?s ready, you can find it at https://aircraftinpixels.com

I?ll post the product url here and on my Patreon page when it?s available.

As for other parts, yes lots are planned. Teves & Braun radiator is in advanced development. Plans are to develop MG mounts etc to integrate with the Gaspatch LMG05/18 like I did in 1/32. Probably a control column. The list goes on. Hours in the day?
